Gili Trawangan - Paradise Island

There is no hurrying in paradise. No motorized vehicles are allowed on Gili Trawangan, so we get on the bikes and pedal around. We will stop at stunning beaches, and when you think you have had enough, then we will end the day at that beach with the famous swing in the water.

It is time to leave paradise for now. We get on the ferry back to Bali and travel to Ubud; the mekka of culture awaits us.

(Breakfast)

Travel to Ubud

You have most likely seen pictures from the Monkey Forest, but now it is time to explore it first hand! The temples are more than 100 years old which has been taken over by monkeys. Hold on tight to your things, as these cheeky creatures are more than happy to “borrow” your stuff without giving them back.

(Breakfast)

Ubud - A trip to the Monkey Forest

It’s an early start today, as we need to get to the top of the volcano before sunrise. The view awaiting us is totally worth leaving bed early today.

Once we make our way back down, we are rewarded with a traditional Balinese massage.

(Breakfast and dinner)

Ubud - Volcanoes and massage

We have reached the last day of our adventure, and we hope you enjoyed your stay in paradise. You can always stay longer if you want or continue your adventure at a new destination.
